Book Description

December 1, 2006 10 and upForensic Science Projects
Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland. Suitcases recovered from the wreckage were checked for trace evidence. Pieces of various clothing fibers from the suitcase were analyzed by forensic specialists. The fibers were eventually linked to a suspect, who was tried and found guilty of murder.
The real-life crime stories in this book are followed by science experiments and project ideas that highlight the forensic technique used to solve the crime. How can you identify clothing fibers found at a crime scene? How is human hair different from dog hair? Can bicycle tire marks be used to solve a crime? Take careful notes in your case notebook; your observations could crack the case!


Editorial Reviews

Review

Both titles are well organized and easy to follow and contain photographs of actual evidence and clear illustrations. Middle school and public libraries will want this series, which also includes books on forgery and blood and DNA evidence. --VOYA - June 2007

Both titles deserve a place in most science-fair collections: the hot subject matter will attract students, while the emphasis of scientific methods and comprehensive back matter will satisfy teachers. --School Library Journal - July 2007

Readers curious about how forensic scientists analyze crime scene materials can learn from these collections of case studies, background information, and projects that illustrate major concepts. --The Horn Book Guide - Fall 2007
